Unexpected Reunion

....

You keep your distance as you followed Amelia, just snacking on the fries she bought. Then as you near your seats amongst the different voices in the crowd there is a soft light laughter near your spot. Amelia stops and does a polite little bow, you can't see to who exactly.

"Yes! I remember you. Nice to see you again, Amelia. You got so big! Thank you for looking after Casey all these years." The voice says cheerfully.

Your munching comes to a slow stop as you walk closer....then soon, Amelia sits down and you come face to face with her, finally seeing who the girls are talking to. The world drowns out and your heart skips a beat upon realization.

The woman looks up at you and freeze. Her eyes widen with a restrained shock.

"Jun, this is my mom. Mom, this is Jun. I don't think you guys have met yet, he's Amelia's brother- well, step-brother actually." Casey says introducing you both.

You're frozen stiff just like her and are reminded of your intimate moments with each other.

This lovely brown haired woman with light freckles and a wonderful smile is Casey's mother....Ms. Kathrine- or rather....Mrs. Kathrine?

"H-Hey! It's- uh....nice to meet you!" You say with an awkward smile.

Mrs. Kathrine visibly begins to sweat as she pulls on her blouse and waves a limp hand at you. Her smile is even more awkward and telling. "O-Oh! Yes! Yes, It's nice to meet you too Jun!"

Your knees become weak hearing your name come out of her mouth and before you are caught staring, you sit down inbetween Sarah and Amelia with Mrs. Kathrine and Casey on the other side of Amelia.

You gulp hard.

Kathrine is Casey's MOM!? The crowd roars to life as the 100 meter sprint starts down below. You can't focus, your eyes drift towards Mrs. Kathrine again....then into the distance, avoiding eye contact. What are the chances?

You quickly glance at her again, then at Casey....you never realized how similar the two looked. Mrs. Kathrine turns and your eyes meet. Both of you awkwardly look away again.

Holy shit.

You take a deep breath....you fucked your sister's friend's mom, and she fucked a boy her daughter's age. You gently give the food tray over to Sarah who takes it without question, then you put your hands onto your head and sink into your seat. Should you be happy? Well, of course you are. You were content on never seeing her again, you came to terms with it. It was only supposed to be a one time thing. But most worrying of all is she happy to see you???

Your thoughts run rampart for the entirety of the event.

....

Then, eventually it was time to pack up. The crowds begin to disperse slowly. Friends and families of the students run onto the field. Your group does the same as the girls begin to run ahead giving a moment to you and Mrs. Kathrine who trailed behind.

You walk beside her, speechless and reduced to nothing but an awkward boy with a blush.

"Didn't think I'd uh....see you again, Jun." Mrs. Kathrine says and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Y-yeah~ hah....I thought the same." You chuckle nervously. "How have you been?"

"Oh~ I've been okay. Just going through life and stuff. Nothing too....exciting. Nothing you'd want to hear anyways....how about you?" Mrs. Kathrine says assuredly and bounces the question back.

You shrug with an incomplete smile. "Same, except it might be too complicated to explain so I don't think you'd want to hear it either."

Mrs. Kathrine chuckles loudly into the back of her hand and you share a laugh along with her.

"I-....didn't know you had a daughter." You say taking a step closer while walking.

"Of course you didn't, I didn't want you to know...." She says looking at the ground.

"If I recall....you said you were buying a gift for your sister, the geeky introverted bookworm....was that your cover up for Casey?" You say with an impressed smile.

"Looks like you caught me~." Mrs. Kathrine smirks at you.

Your fingers brush against hers, fingers that had once intertwined romantically on a date....now **** to only feel the phantom warmth of each other despite only being inches apart.

"Do you....still think about it?" Mrs. Kathrine asks and you lift your gaze from the ground.

"...." You give it a moment to let the question sink in as you decide what to say. "Yeah I do, I don't think I'll ever forget it."

With that reply Mrs. Kathrine perses her lips into a tight smile and nods. Her lashes flutter and she sighs into the cool evening air.

A glimmer of the necklace around her neck catches your eye, reminding you of the ring she has on it. You spotted it once before during your....intimate time with her. You didn't think too much of it at the time.

"You don't have to answer this but....why are you not wearing your ring?" It's an indirect question, asking of many things. If you saw it at the start of the date, things may have gone differently.

Mrs. Kathrine stops and pulls out her necklace to show you. The ring linked around the silver chain dangles as you saw it then.

"It's....complicated too. My husband....up and disappeared one day. The last thing he said to me was that....he was on a big case and needed time for his work....then he left and we never heard from him again." She smiles painfully to you and tucks the necklace back under her blouse. "It's been a few years since."

Guessing from what you can tell she can't just throw the ring away and it doesn't sound like she was properly divorced either....that indeed is complicated.

"I don't believe that for a second." You say to her with a smile. "How can a man just leave someone as beautiful as you?"

"Stop Jun, don't say that....don't make me blush. Plus, I'm way past my prime." Kathrine smiles and begins to walk again.

"I'm serious....did he say anything about coming back?" You say walking along.

You remain uplifting but something about this rubs you the wrong way, this man with a beautiful wife and daughter just....up and left for his job. It's a familiar story as you remember your own father.

"No. I don't know anything except....what I told you." Mrs. Kathrine shakes her head gently.

"Fine....at least he won't ever find out about what we did then." You playfully say to her.

Mrs. Katherine reaches over and holds your arm tightly while her other hand pinches you through your uniform. "NO ONE will ever find out, yes?"

"Y-Yeah. Of course!!!...." You nod quickly feeling the slight sting backed by the threat of her motherly self.

She lets go and smiles again.

There it is....that hot charm only belonging to a mature refined woman. You still can't believe you had sex with her....

"Jun! Come here!" Keiko waves at you as you and Mrs. Kathrine finally arrive onto the field.
